Time for her quadrennially scheduled waxing :lol: Muuuch better

Also been talking to Dave and Nate Porter again, and they've convinced (well, shamed really) me into going a little more 'extreme' with this round of mods... :chevy:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Extreme is good,..

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Come on man!! :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

:lol: Good Choice! Are you still planning on doing coilovers or bags now?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

It is, but also requires an extreme amount of work...
I know, I know... At least I can't change my mind again--there's no other options left :lol:
Lets just say I've been looking hard at the new endo products, trying to decide if they're worth the money :chevy:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Yes, hence our DM convo on IG. Need some room for tires :smoke:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

So is that code for Bags or ......... :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Awesome build! Spent a few hours reading thru all the pages! Your truck inspired me to do a paint job on my 70 stepper like yours! Beautiful truck!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

So, it looks like we're gonna end up with an 'extreme'ly low static coilover drop. I'll keep the thread up-to-date with any further changes (hopefully no mas)
Thanks and good luck! Only one way to know if you can do it, and that's to try. They have a much better selection of colors available now than they did a few years ago. Great quality paint, that I think I'll be using more of soon...

Wife just sent me this pic:

...and so it begins (continues?)...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

:lol: I think I know what's in that box

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I can't wait to take a measuring device to these things (and compare them to my Belltechs)! I've read and heard multiple different guesses and proposals on how much he track is narrowed. I want to quantitatively dispel all rumors :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

wait... so what was in that box?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Glad to hear your going with the extreme coilovers and we can observe your expertise , no change in the rear with the No Limit trailing arm set up correct.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

A set of CPP modular drop spindles. Hoping they will provide a narrower track-width (I'm eager to compare them to my Belltech drop spindles), which will provide clearance for turning at super-low heights (and maybe a deeper-dish wheel :D). I also went with the 1" narrowed arms from PB
The NL rear kit has been sold to another member. The 'current' plan involves a PB level 3 (extreme) v7 coilover Dropmember up front and level 2 (touring) coilover Dropmember out back. Sorry for all of the confusion--I just barely have figured out what's going on myself :smoke:

The boxes should start piling up, soon: PB suspension/hood hinges, Ridetech coilovers (via shores6), HartRod ChubTubz, Hill's Rod and Custom inner fenders, and a bunch of other stuff from places I haven't ordered yet--still need Boyd's fuel tank, steering rack/hoses/linkage and a bunch of other hard/soft parts--aaaaah! this is the snowball I was trying to avoid :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Yeah, but admit it... playing in the snow is so damn fun, huh? :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

So what was the reason to go with the PB rear vs NL. I like both products/companies so I was just curious and one happens to be in my backyard.

you mean like this...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Yes it is, but I'm burnin' $100 bills to stay warm :lol:
Ultimately, I just wanted to go lower. The NL pieces were very nice, but didn't allow me to drop as far as I wanted
Yes, very similar. I think I'll need a bed fill. Selling that one?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

No, it is one that I ordered that showed up on Friday. Just thought it was funny that you were talking about getting one when mine just showed up. I don't know if you have ever looked at one before, but they are very well built and have all of the needed baffles, and then some!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Good to hear! I've never seen one in person, but I've never seen a bad review on one. Im a little side-tracked with putting together an AOD to t5 swap on the Muskrat, so I've taken a break on ordering truck parts (for the moment). I have some time to kill while I wait for the PB bits...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Still stockpiling parts:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Killer truckload of parts!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

You should be busy for a while! :metal:
